The Rocky Mountain road trip in the P12 is a rough one, as Kansas found out.

Az’s complete dismantling of CU was impressive.

Jon, you are spot on, and thank your for sanely putting Villanova where they belong – below Creighton

So J Dub, are there 3 P12 teams tied for 26th?

I am not sure how Wichita State gets so little respect.

Although I can appreciate an attempt to have a clean, Tournament ready Top 25 poll, it doesn’t work like that.

At least the conference tournaments will shake things up enough to ensure ballots like these aren’t a rubber stamp.

So did San Diego State. They are way better than Wilner’s 16th spot. Barely lost to Arizona, Beat Kansas IN Kansas. Hit a shooting slump the past 2 weeks with the two new losses. Aztecs are still the best team in California.> ucla, cal, furd, usc, st marys, etc etc etc….

And the Aztecs beat Creighton on a neutral floor, yet Wilner ranks higher. Doug McDermott, when asked by Dan Patrick who the toughest team they’ve played this season, answered immediately San Diego State.

Also, yes the Aztecs were in a bit of a shooting funk in their 2 losses, but both were on the road, one at a hard luck Wyomibg team in a late late game at 7,220 feet above sea level. A brutal place to play and to get to.

The other loss at badly under ranked #25 New Mexico at The Pit, another very tough to play, considered one if the toughest venues for visiting teams in all of college basketball. Also at high altitude.

Wilner always undervalues and punishes teams like SDSU in his rankings and also in his contributions to the AP national rankings- he’s one of less than 10 voters- how in the world did that happen.

He’s a snob, loves blue bloods and power conference teams only. He has a 6 loss Kansas team, who by the way lost to SDSU … AT Kansas at #2. While they’re very good, #2 with 6 losses. What a joke.

Mason Jar

Good points, SDSU is going to make a deep tourney run, and the polls will then be irrelevant.
